A lot of interesting stuff gets sent to you via e-mail these days. Friday, I got one from a woman named Mary Jane Kolassa of Y Partnership, a PR firm in Florida. It reads this way: With the Vancouver Olympics … Continue reading →

This from Clark Judge of CBS.com, who praises Mike Holmgren for the decision. (Memo to G-Mann: Didn't ignore it … just didn't see it until you posted the link in a comment … which I appreciate. So I include it.)

There is one team that fired its coach after giving him one season.

A reader writes this via e-mail: "It could be that Mike Holmgren watched the last four games and saw a team functioning at a very high level and rightly attributed it to coaching.  You have to go back to the Marty Schottenheimer … Continue reading →

Mike Lombardi wonders if Mike Holmgren thought too much like a former coach instead of an executive when bringing back Eric Mangini.

I'm writing for Sunday's Beacon Journal today, so there won't be a lot of time to blog on Mike Holmgren's decision. That being said, this is what I opined in Friday's Beacon-Journal (written Thursday afternoon).

I'm going to attempt to live blog on Mike Holmgren's first news conference at 4 p.m. Provided I can do it. Keep hitting refresh … and I'll keep trying to update. … pat

You know, when I wrote that last post I said to myself I was on the verge of putting a statue of the guy up outside the front door. Perhaps I should have left it at this: LeBron James and … Continue reading →

With gratitude for your loyalty and interest, I wish everyone  a very Merry Christmas and a happy holiday.

Anyone else other than me remember this sight? Anyone other than me remember the annual pilgrimage downtown? It's a Cleveland memory, unique only to this area. And it was quite something to see. No, that is not me in the … Continue reading →

Well … I did not make the trip to Kansas City today. Personal decision. Vacation time. Blah blah blah (or as Jerry and Elaine would say, yada yada yada). Thus there will be no live blog during the game. I … Continue reading →

Hi folks … taking a blog break day today to prepare for the upcoming holidays, etc. As Ahnold might say, I'll be back.

From Sunday's Beacon Journal.

… those of you who get this will understand … I have never had a gingerbread latte in my life.

Cleveland Scene's fine sports blog (by Vince Grzegorek) does a fine job here discussing how the media covers Delonte West's situation. And no, it's not fine because I'm quoted. It's merely fine.

Eric Mangini said today that he'd be involved — perhaps included is a better word — in the hiring of the Browns new GM.

Someone e-mailed this morning to say that all CBS announcers — Bill Cowher, Dan Marino, Shannon Sharpe and Boomer Esiason — called for Eric Mangini to be fired. The e-mail said they said he's not right for the job. I've been … Continue reading →

Here is some more of what Randy Lerner, Jamal Lewis and Brady Quinn had to say after the Browns loss in Chicago.
